    Definitely the best spot for acai in SLO. I love that this place offers pure acai sorbet and has chia pudding. I always do a build your own and the price has increased :( Chia pudding used to be a free add-on, but now it's an additional charge. Sometimes they're out of a few toppings as well. The workers are always friendly and make the bowls fast considering it can get busy. There seating partially indoors and outdoors! ig: @cravingswithcat

    the acai project is my favorite acai bowl ever! the bowls are packed to the brim with acai, granola, and fruit and always leave me feeling full and satisfied. the fruit is always fresh and it's a perfect light breakfast or snack. the employees are all very nice and helpful and keep the area very clean and organized, despite having only a small space inside the CrossFit gym. I always come back to the acai project when I'm in slo and I will continue to do so!

    Lots of seating and great acai bowls for a decent price! New go to place for a good acai bowl, especially cause they have so many options for fresh fruit.

    The açaí project has delicious bowls! We are from out of town and we had a hard time finding the actual store front... even though the navigation says "you've arrived" we weren't sure where to go. This is actually located inside the cross fit gym... that's good to know! Delicious bowls, hard to find!

    Best açai I've ever had! Great service and the staff were lovely, and a really cool shop with great ambience!

    Great açaí bowls and very accommodating staff! I got one of the pre made bowls and asked to swap some toppings and add extra almond butter. They were more than happy to help me and allowed me to put granola on the side as well. The fruit was all very fresh and crisp, fairly priced for what you get, and the açaí was also quite smooth rather than icy. Would definitely go here again to just grab a quick fruity fix after a workout. Has outdoor and indoor seating.

    THE go to spot for acai in SLO. Located in lower level of a gym, the acai project has a range of treats for everyone. With both acai bowls and smoothies this spot can statsify any post workout craving. If you're a fan of creamy and thick acai you've come to the right spot. Not into acai, check out one of thier other bases such as blue majik or pitaya. We are especially fans of the granola and chia seed pudding! Bowls aren't exorbantly prices and comes packed with toppings! Plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy a refreshing snack on a hot day.

    This shop is located inside a cross fit gym with a few options for seating inside and outside. I ordered a large and it was filling and tasty. The service was nothing terrible, nothing amazing. Overall, I enjoyed my açaí bowl but felt the experience was nothing special.

    THE MOST SATISFYING AND TASTY AÇAÍ BOWLS IN SLO! Connected to a gym, this açaí bowl location is the perfect pick me up or after workout snack. The açaí is thick and smooth, creating the perfect consistency. With granola and toppings mixed into a perfect swirl within the cup, the toppings compliment the entire masterpiece. Each açaí bowl flavor is unique and delicious! Feeling tropical fruits? They have it! Want protein? They have it! Any topping you desire, they probably have it! One of my favorite toppings is bee pollen!

    Large $9.99 "I like it SLO Acai Bowl"

    This might be my new favorite açaí bowl place!! I love the interior and how there are seats outside as well! First off, the employees are really nice and friendly! They said their most popular was "I like it SLO" açaí Bowl and I got that in a large size $9.99! It was really good and I love how they put a lot of açaí and toppings!! I also got the Make My Own Açaí Bowl Large $9.99 with the bases: matcha, blue majik, açaí and toppings (5): strawberry, blueberry, banana, almonds, almond butter The Blue Majik and Matcha bases are really good! I've never tried Blue Majik and it's really refreshing, it tastes similar to blueberries and raspberries?? (Maybe it's just me) the Matcha base is also a refreshing green tea and I love how all the bases taste differently without influencing the other bases and taste well with one another!!! I also got the C24 Smoothie with Whey Powder $7.99 (one size only)! 4/5 it's blended very thick, but tastes great! Highly recommend trying this place!

    Of all the acai bowls in SLO, THIS IS THE BEST ONE. I'm not too sure why no one knows about this place but I absolutely love it! It is also so worth to get the large if you can finish it. I will say the wait is a little long for some reason but it is completely worth it! It somehow tastes so much better than all the other places and the toppings are fresh! Each bite is crunchy and full of flavor unlike some other places where it is just juice. They have a good selection of bowls and even one where you can build your own.

    First time trying an açaí bowl! Really refreshing and the portion size is huge just for a small so you really get what you're paying for! :)

I placed my order on the kiosk, which I found very easy to use. I ordered Smoothie 5 and Panini 6. This came out to $36.97. For the smoothie, I subbed out strawberries (because I'm allergic) and added bananas. I found that to be a really great option that they have at no extra charge. For the panini, I didn't realize they had half and full orders until I got up to the kiosk. I opted for the full order, and then realized once I sat down that I probably would have been better off with the half option. My smoothie arrived at the table at 11:49, whereas my panini arrived at 11:53, so the wait in total was about 15 minutes which is not bad at all for how busy it was. My friends ordered the Greens 5 with prosciutto, Toast 4, Bowl 1, Bowl 6, and everyone agreed that we would definitely come back. One thing that was funny to us is that we felt like the photos on the menu looked smaller than the portions that actually arrived. My friend ordered the Greens and a Bowl thinking it would be small, and she realized very quickly that she was going to need a takeout box for her salad. (This is a good problem to have, rather than the other way around!). The service was also top notch. Even though I ordered on the kiosk, I was still able to interact with the employees, as they frequently came around to ask if they could clear off plates from our table. I also went up to the front to ask for a box, and she kindly directed me to where the boxes were located that I could just grab. Next time, I would definitely mentally prepare myself for how busy it is, but for the quality of ingredients, and the portion size, I think it is great and would definitely come back.

And it's not just my opinion as they were recently recognized in SLO Times. With a new menu monthly--offering locally sourced ingredients--everything is always a win!

Ok that may just be my opinion but I dare you to tell me otherwise. This day I ordered the strawberry basil waffle with whipped mascarpone and olive oil with of course my favorite: the spicy chai latte!!!

Shared some of the homemade scones and had an avocado toast with a latte and really enjoyed it! They have free coffee refills (not specialty drinks) which is an added bonus.

But overall, enjoyed it and would come back on occasion.
